Workplace discrimination is when an employee is treated unfairly based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability instead of job performance. Almost everyone can agree that discrimination has no place in the business world, but not everyone understands the laws that protect employees against discrimination. Whether discrimination happens by accident or deliberately, your company could face severe penalties and legal action as a result. Therefore, it’s vital that all involved parties at your company understand the severity of discrimination in the workplace. Our courses break this down.
Discrimination in the workplace can result in severe consequences for your company. Along with a no-tolerance policy, your organization needs to equip your supervisors, managers, and employees with the knowledge to stop and prevent workplace discrimination. Although we update our training as new information comes out, you can first read about workplace discrimination training tactics here on our blog.
Although most people agree that discrimination in the workplace is wrong, that doesn’t mean it never happens. Much of workplace discrimination today happens without the guilty party even being aware that they are acting in a discriminatory manner. There are several US laws and OSHA regulations around workplace discrimination you are required to follow as an employer. Providing this type of training helps you comply with these laws and regulations, as well as address subconscious issues within your workforce. Understanding the sometimes hidden nature of discrimination and taking responsibility to end it is easily done with our training.
